Publisher's description of Tactile12000

From Tactile Pictures:

Tactile12000 is a QuickTime-based 3D simulation of a DJ setup, consisting of two virtual turntables and a mixer. It allows you to cross-fade, back-spin, and speed up and slow down music--including full-length WAV and MP3 files--on your computer. It allows you to mix songs, and it can automatically cross-fade between songs stored in your MP3 playlist. Version 2.1 has a new interface, audio-cueing capabilities, pitch bending, improved controls, bug fixes, and more.

With limited mixing and effects, Tactile 12000 is more suited to amateur DJs and those who want simple cross-fading for their favorite MP3s. The software's 3D interface mimics a real DJ setup, with two turntables and any imported MP3 or WAV file being represented in a stack of virtual wax. Basic effects such as pitch control, cross-fading, and RPM selection are easy enough to use, although those wanting to really mix it up will likely be left wanting more. A limited scratch tool also is available. The $29.95 price tag makes Tactile12000 an affordable and fun way to create MP3 playlists with a bit more pizzazz, but those who want serious DJ tools, such as automated beat matching and looping, should look elsewhere.

  "Not Too good."

  on June 11, 2003

  Summary: This program is about a 5 out of 10 for mixing. But for scratching and transforming, it stinks. If you want high quality scratching download the Ots Cd Scratch Program. 100% Free!!!
